Landscape Architecture
The task of landscape architecture is to define the tense relationship between man and his environment. Landscape architects plan for man and nature, act responsibly for society and the environment.
The fields of activity range from the design of our living and residential environment to the preservation and development of our natural environment, i.e. from the planning of a city park to the design of a pedestrian zone or extensive natural and cultural landscapes to complex environmental impact assessments. Landscape architects provide consulting and planning services for the design, social, functional, ecological, climatic and economic challenges of our time.
Our cities and communities are essentially defined by their open spaces. Parks and gardens, but also streets, squares and promenades shape the image of a city.
Designing open spacesThe aim of landscape planning is to preserve the beauty and diversity of landscapes and to develop cultural landscapes with concepts and concrete projects.
